Chapter 1161


    Only after Quincy and the rest had been sent back to Cansington did James feel slightly more rxed.


    He believed that Lucjan would no longer threaten him with the lives of others since he had already


    consumed the Soul Eating


    Pill.


    Lucjan too was incredibly confident that James would continue to work for him.


    Lucjan stared at James in the vi with admiration and said, "I really like you, James. You''re a very rare


    gem and you''ve achieved such great strength at a young age. In a few more decades, you''ll be


    practically invincible. With you by my side, well be able to usher in a new era of unprecedented


    prosperity!”


    James asked calmly, "I have no idea what the Gu Sect''s objective is. Would you care to enlighten me


    about it?"


    “Is that so?”


    Lucjan looked at James and replied with a smile, "Most people chase strength and power throughout


    their lives. It''s simply human nature to be greedy and stand at the top of the world. If it weren''t, there


    wouldn''t have been so many wars in the past.”


    "Are you guys trying to conquer the world?" James squinted at Lucjan.


    "Haha!"


    Lucjan smiled and did not bother to exin.


    "James, you won''t regret bing one of my men. I n to kill the Supreme Leader during the Mount


    Thunder Conference and a few other prominent figures of the Gu Sect to take over the Mount Thunder


    Sect.


    When the timees, you''ll be the deputy captain only below me but above tens of thousands of


    people.”


    James smiled lightly, "I''ve already achieved what you''re offering me, so why should I take the risk?"


    "You killed Jackson and offended Mount Thunder Sect, Mr. Lee, and the King. They''re not going


    overlook your actions any longer."


    Speaking of Mr. Lee, James’ curiosity was piqued, and he could not help asking, "Who exactly is Mr.


    Lee?"


    James knew about his existence and that he had been working with the King since long ago.


    30 years ago, he was the person that orchestrated everything and the cause of countless events that


    gave the current King the power he had. Despite having known about him for so long, he was still


    clueless about Mr. Lee’s real identity and background let alone know about his motives.


    Lucjan continued to smile at James as he spoke candidly "He''s a powerful martial artist and also an


    outstanding politician and tactician. For decades, he''s always hidden behind the scenes and assisted


    the King in rapidly developing Sol. As for his identity..."


    Lucjan paused for a while and continued. "Back then, there were four powerful men that stood with the


    King. They were called


    Sky, Earth, Wind, and Thunder. However, these brilliant men were already more than a hundred years


    old back then. They''re probably long dead now.


    "As for Mr. Lee, he was a high-achieving apprentice nicknamed the Sky Saint and had inherited Sky''s


    martial techniques. His strength is unknown since he rarely involves himself in fights. However, since


    Sky had favored him, he''s definitely someone who has great potential. Dozens of years have passed


    since then, so he definitely lies somewhere around the rank of a seventh-rank grandmaster. I don''t


    think he has reached the eighth rank yet since breaking into that rank is astoundingly difficult.”


    Lucjan gave James a thorough exnation of Mr. Lee''s background. He was the disciple of the leader


    of the four brilliant men that supported the King. His full name was Asher Lee.


    James listened carefully.


    Although he had a brief understanding of the past events, he did not have all the details on the people


    who were involved.


    All he knew was that the former Great Grandmaster was Mount Thunder Sect''s leader and about the


    head of the Mavericks, Can Maverick.


    As for the others, he had never heard of them before.


    Lucjan suddenly changed the topic and asked, "James, you''re a soldier, so you should know that you''ll


    get beaten up if you fall behind. Let me ask you a question. Let''s pretend that Sol has been at war for a


    long time, and you possess military power. After finally winning the war, many civilians suffered injuries,


    and countless lives were lost. Would you still seize the chance to destroy the enemy''s country and


    avenge the fallen soldiers and civilians?"


    James was taken aback by his question.

    He never expected such a question from Lucjan.


    After thinking about it for a while, James did not have a definite answer.


    If he was in the Southern ins and had dealt with an enemy invasion that led to countless casualties,


    he would definitely send troops to attack the enemy and avenge them.


    An enemy that offended Sol would have to be punished no matter how far away they were.


    This was the basic principle of a soldier.


    A soldier''s duty was to defend their country.
